Comments Thread For: Roach: Pacquiao Should Retire Now; 'Getting Older Sucks!'

[Scary_canary]

I think manny could still compete at a higher level in the 130's but with his age he gives away to much size at 147

And Roach ran off his best conditioning coach Ariza. That's when he was KOing bigger dude's. Floyd even admitted he helped him a lot.

The kos stopped in 2009 when he moved up to welter weight ariza didn't leave til 2013. The truth is most of pacs kos came before ariza. But i do agree ariza was great for Pacs conditioning. What happened between him and roach who knows

Getting older don't suck. Not a Pac fan, but what haven't this man achieved? He is a 8 division champ. Who cares now that all you have to do is land 90 punches in 12 rounds to beat him?!?

Must retire from politics first."peeleft:

Manny is done, if he can't put away a fighter of Horn's calibre then this is it. He should have retired after the 3rd Bradley fight, there just isn't anything left to prove. He has been slowing down gradually for the last 5 years. Let's face it he should have never lost to Bradley in the first fight, but it showed what was happening. To hell with a rematch, he may well lose again. A fighter like Manny going out with 8 losses would be sad, not to mention the fact he is 5-4 in his last 9 fights.

Remember Ariza kicked Roach in the chest, must be laughing at him now.

We've already experienced the dawning of a new era.

Canelo Alvarez
Terrence Crawford
Jermell Charlo
Jermall Charlo
Anthony Joshua
Deontay Wilder
Sor Rungvisai
Jeff "The Hornet" Horn
Devin Haney
Chris Eubank Jr.
Keith Thurman
Errol Spence
Mikey Garcia

We're in good hands.

Is it ignorance or you just intentionally avoided to name euro eastern fighters?

I think Usyk and Loma along with Joshua, Mickey, TC and Nelo are leading this new wave.

Well, they are at least much more worthy than Eubank jr

[JakeTheBoxer]

It is because of his fighting style. he is small fighter, he was beating guys with his speed, not power.
